    The 39 Most Naked Dresses of All Time

    Naked dresses are perhaps the most impressive of all red carpet feats. While they may not always make the best-dressed list, they do require a certain breed of celebrity to pull off. Not only do you have to have the balls to risk a wardrobe malfunction, but you have to do it with enough confidence that you look fierce — not terrified — in the photographs. Take Naomi Campbell's appearance in Valentino's couture show during the spring/summer 2019 presentation. The legendary model gracefully strutted down the runway in a see-through gown with a ruffle skirt. (Click through the gallery for the NSFW photo).  Get the inside scoop on all your favorite celebrities with our FREE daily newsletter, InStyle Celebrity. Breaking news, relationship updates, hairstyle inspo, fashion trends, and more direct to your inbox! Let's not forget Rihanna’s infamous CFDA dress either. The girl rocked a completely sheer dress without a bra — and later remarked that her only regret was not wearing a bedazzled thong to match. That, my friends, is dedication. Then, there was the year 2015, when the Met Gala saw not one nor two but three naked dresses on the red carpet, all worn by Hollywood’s hottest A-listers. Jennifer Lopez, above, bared her famous curves in a custom Atelier Versace illusion gown. Beyoncé was nearly naked in Givenchy. And Kim Kardashian West almost looked modest in comparison in her sheer Roberto Cavalli dress, because no one’s getting naked without KKW joining in. Click through to see the best naked dresses of all time.

    The 5 Haircut Trends That Will Dominate 2020

    The beginning of the new year comes with the irresistible urge to start over fresh, which means it's a great time to get a haircut.  This decade's first big hair trends include looks at every length that can be tailored to your hair texture and personal style. For anyone with a blunt bob — the most popular haircut of the past few years — you probably already guessed that the cut will still be going strong into the next decade. But there will be a few tweaks. As seen on Kerry Washington, 2020's bob has textured, softer edges, and looks amazing whether you part it down the middle or off to the side.  RELATED: The 10 Hairstyles You'll See Everywhere This Winter But if you swear that 2020 is going to be the year you finally grow out your hair, let Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian's extra-long lengths be your inspiration. Or, you can get the look instantly with the help of some clip in extensions.  To help you figure out how to wear your hair in the new year, we've rounded up the five biggest haircut trends of 2020, so you'll be sure of what you want before you head to the salon in January.  VIDEO: The Five Biggest Haircut Trends of 2020

The Royals don't keep everything a secret. The details of Prince Harry's and Meghan Markle's wedding were basically public information, and we've even caught a glimpse of their family photo albums thanks to Kate Middleton's photography skills. But when it comes to beauty products and routines, they're pretty hush-hush.

Queen Elizabeth is never going to walk us through her exact skincare routine, but she will let the world know (in the most subtle way possible) when she uses a beauty brand or one of its services. It's called the Royal Warrant, and there's an entire website dedicated to what brands and companies have earned the badge of honor. 

According to the website, Royal Warrants are given to anyone who "supplied goods or services" to the the households of the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh (Prince Philip), or the Prince of Wales (Prince Charles) for at least five years, or who have an ongoing trading arrangement. So if the Queen uses a specific product or brand, it's given the Queen's seal. And yes, there's an entire section dedicated to beauty and grooming pros, products, and companies. 

So what does the Queen use? We don't have specifics, but we do have a list of the brands she's approved, along with some hearsay on what items in each collection she fancies. Keep scrolling to see seven beauty brands that currently boast the Royal Warrant.

According to the Royal Warrant's bio on the company, this brand started off as a retail pharmacy in 1790. Now it produces grooming, bath, body, skincare, and haircare products. While we know the Queen has given this brand her stamp of approval, we don't know what exactly she uses.

Elizabeth Arden

Hello Magazine reports that Elizabeth Arden has held a Royal Warrant for 55 years. Given Queen Elizabeth's penchant for pink lipstick, we have to wonder if she owns the brand's famous Beautiful Color Moisturizing Lipstick.

Boots UK

Boots UK is the equivalent of your local Walgreen's. It's a massive drugstore filled with tons of different beauty brands, and has been around for 170 years. While Boots doesn't exist as a store in the U.S., the company has its own line of beauty products, and they can be found at local drugstores and retailers like Target. Currently, it's received the Royal Warrant in the category of, "Manufacturers and Retailers of Health and Beauty Products."

Need a new candle for your apartment? What about a hostess gift? You can't go wrong with Molton Brown, and apparently even Queen Elizabeth knows that. This classic body brand is a supplier of toiletries to the Queen, and if we were to choose one product from the entire line, it would be the fragrant body gels.

Clarins

According to The Telegraph, the Queen actually commissioned Clarins to create a shade of lipstick that matched her ceremonial robes for her coronation back in 1952. We don't know if the Queen is still rocking Clarins lip products, but the brand has made the Royal Warrant list for skincare and cosmetics. It's also an industry favorite: this lip oil has snagged some serious beauty-editor approval.

This family perfumer brand has been around since the 1700s, and all the products are currently made in London. If we could pick out the Queen's next go-to scent, this bright and summery citrus compilation would be our top suggestion.
